Male Breast Reduction in Beverly Hills

Correcting Gynecomastia & Helping Boost Self-Esteem

Male breast reduction involves the minimizing of excess fat and glandular
tissue from a man’s chest. Through this procedure, a flat masculine
chest can be realized.* A variety of surgical techniques can be used by
the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon
Dr. Andre Aboolian, such as ultrasonic liposuction, laser liposuction, and surgical excision.

If you are a male and you have excess breast tissue, this procedure may
be an ideal solution.

Tissue can be excised through a small incision near the areola. Fat can
be extracted with
liposuction. A thin hollow tube is inserted through a small incision, leaving a nearly
undetectable scar.

You should reach a stable and healthy body weight before considering this
procedure. If you are seeking correction of gynecomastia, it is best to
investigate and resolve possible causes of the condition before surgery.
To minimize the risk of complications, stop smoking at least three weeks
before surgery.

Male Breast Reduction Surgical Procedure

Dr. Aboolian may recommend an MRI or mammogram to determine the composition
of your breast tissue. If surgery is recommended, expect about 1 hour
of operating time. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia can be used,
depending on the extent of tissue planned for subtraction.

A combination of techniques will likely be involved. To sculpt the chest,
liposuction is performed through a small incision in the areola or near
the underarm. Glandular tissue, if present, rarely needs to be directly
excised and taken out through a peri-areolar incision. In cases where
there is skin excess skin laxity causing breast sagging, the skin may
need to be removed (mastopexy) to achieve the desired results.

Recovery time is approximately two to four days, with the ability to go
back to a desk job in 48 to 72 hours. After surgery, you will be wrapped
in gauze and/or an elastic compression garment. Pain can be managed with
prescription medications.

Results are immediate. However, it takes two to four months for the swelling
to go away for the final results to be appreciated. The results should
be long lasting, as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle involving
a healthy diet and exercise routine.*

Male breast reduction/gynecomastia correction can enhance your appearance
and self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks
to match your ideal. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully
about your expectations and
discuss them frankly with Dr. Aboolian.
